WHAT IS A CAMPSITE?

A campsite is defined as a physical site consisting of parking space for one camping unit and one tow vehicle. A camping
unit is defined as any unit that is used for sleeping such as a motor home, 5th wheel, tent, camper van or a pickup with
canopy or camper. A tow vehicle is either the vehicle being towed or the vehicle towing the camping unit. Any other vehicles
are to be considered extra vehicles. A small tent is allowed to accompany the primary camping unit in the campsite. A small
tent is defined as a tent designed to be occupied by no more than three persons. Any larger tents must be placed in another

one camping unit will be allowed only by permission of the Caretaker and must pay the appropriate fee for another campsite.

CAN A PARK BE RESERVED FOR SPECIAL EVENTS?

Yes, many county park facilities are available for rent by permit. If the park does not have a pavilion or indoor

exclusive use of a park, only the right to stage that event.

Please see the Park Department Policy Manual (Section 401) under the Park Advisory Board link to see the guidelines
and definitions of a Special Event.

If an event will introduce extra or unusual hazards to water safety, a Regatta Permit is required to accompany the
Special Event Permit. See the Oregon State Marine Board guidelines at:
